I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you And she tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And Love is not some victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
There was a time you'd let me know What's real and going on below But now you never show that to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you And the holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot someone who outdrew you And it's not some cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
